Phil, so I just checked both Syed's Basic Curry and Madras recipes and I see a few differences. 

1. The Madras has the addition of 1 tsp paprika (slightly heaped?) (at 2:10 on the video), not in the Basic Curry
2. The Basic Curry uses 3-4 TBSP oil whereas the Madras calls for 2 TBSP
3. Kasuri methi is added to the Madras after the chicken, but before on the Basic Curry.   Doubt that's an issue.
4. Fresh green chillies added to the Basic Curry, not in the Madras
5. Basic Curry uses 'just under' 1/4 cup chopped onion.   A cup is 4 TBSP, so let's say that's 3 TBSP.  The Madras used 2 TBSP

Although the ingredient list at the start of the video says 1 tsp mix powder, Syed seems to add 1/4 tsp mix powder (2:00 on video).  So that's the same as the Basic Curry.  It's these uses of 1/4 tsp that I first noticed about Syed's dishes.  In others, I've mainly seen 1/4 tsp used for garam masala, or maybe other, more pungent / stronger spices such as extra-hot chili powder.  It's the subtlety I like.

Don't want to over-analyze.  Want to over-eat.

Phil, for the life of me I cannot get that txt file to convert to .xlsx.  Tried Save As, tried simple renaming, tried importing via the Data tab I normally pull CSV files in from.  Nothing.  Nada.  Nowt.
I'm very well versed in Excel (in fact I like to think I'm a bit of a geek, with pivot tables, macros etc) but this just isn't working.   Could I ask you to send me the excel file to my email please?


thanks
Robbo
